A. NJ. Gordon, of the map and atlas
publishing house of Grifing, Gordon &
ICo., Philadelphia, Pa, was in Eaton
last week taking subscribers for the new
map Of Preble county, which the firm
is about to get out. 1t will be the best
and most accurate nj eve published
and every citizen should have one.
Be kind and sympathetic in your man.
agement of stock this sort of weather.
Remember that they are susceptible to
cold and hunger and discomfort, just as
you are. See that they have plenty of
good, nutritious food and a cosy shelter
from the wintry blast. Their eyes will
thank you eloquently and you will be
rewarded by an increase in their value.
1t is poor satisfaction for a newspa-
per editor to publish the names of per-
sons who take the paper for a year or
more and fail to pay, but it seems the
only redress publishers have in some
leases, and we believe no man who has a
spark of honesty in his composition will
subject himself to such an exposition of
meanness and disgrace amS}g his fell
low men. re-

to find out how far a farmer must walk
to put in and tend forty acres of corn,
says to pillow the ground with a sixteen
inch, three-horse pillow, he travels $50
miles; to harrow the ground thorough
1y before planting he will have to travel
100 miles; to mark out the same he trav-
els so miles; to cultivate it afterwards
he will have to travel 800 miles, making
a grand total of 800 miles, besides the
gathering.
Agood foot bridge has been construct
ed over Seyenmile, opposite the old
Bruce mill, by a few enterprising citi-
zens in that neighborhood, and farmers
wanting to reach Eaton from that di-
rection, rather than risk the icy cross
ing with their teams, hitch on the oppo-
site side and walk up into town. 1t is
rather a severe loss to the business of
Eaton that the County Commissioners
neglected the letting of that bridge UNI
til the very last one, when it should
have been the first. What we need is
a County Commissioner from Eaton,
and we move to have one.

that to stock men will be worth attend

A minister of the Gospel thus dis
courseth on the tobogganing business:
sI am not sure that tobogganing is con-
ducive to good morals. 1 look upon it
as the business partner of the skating
rink. It cannot be claimed that it is a
very genteel amusement fog young Ia
dies-and old ones too-tHengage in.
It certainly does not look aavell to see a
lady seated on a board, with limbs pro-
truding on either side, sliding down
hill at the rate of a mile a minute. 1t
is altogether too suggestive and cannot
help having a baneful influence. The
skating rink caused a great deal of
scandal, and the toboggan slide may in
time do equally as WELL"
It will not pay you to buy the mus
lin and linen for shirts and make them,
when you can buy the shirt already
made for the cost of the goods alone.

Too many are apt to think hat it mat-
tiers but little whether the newspaper is
paid promptly or not; that it is a small
sum, and is of but little consequence.
This is not because the subscribers are
unwilling to pay, but rather because
J they are negligent. Each one imagines
that because his years Indebtedness
amounts to so small a sum the printer
cannot be much in want of it, without
t for a moment thinking that the fruits
: of his business are made up OF exactly
: such little sgpas, and that the aggregate
of all subscriptions is by no means ar
: inconsiderable amount of money, ant
o without which the publishers could no
: continue to issue their paper.
